Hardworking BoogieHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
Taking off your pajamas in the morning, checking the weather forecast, jotting down notes so you don’t forget anything… It shares the little hard-working moments of everyday life set to a fun boogie tune.
With a lively, spirited rhythm, it’s a cheerful song that tells kids “working is cool.” Debuting as the Song of the Month in October 2023, “Hatarakimono Boogie” features lyrics by Morihisa Yamamoto and music by Asei Kobayashi.
Listening to this track might even make cleaning and tidying up more fun!
It’s fun.
“Tanoshii ne” is a delightful song that excites children’s hearts.
With its rhythmic lyrics and melody, it naturally makes kids want to move their bodies.
By singing along with hand claps and foot stomps, they can develop a sense of rhythm and cooperation.
It’s often used at kindergarten and nursery school events, and singing and dancing together fosters a sense of unity.
Singing with friends, teachers, and parents can also help nurture communication skills.
It’s a song you can enjoy anytime, anywhere—at home or outside—so be sure to sing it together with the children.
Transform! Ninja-jan!
You can see both cuteness and coolness! Let me introduce “Henshin! Ninja-Jan.” What comes to mind when you hear the word ninja? Many people probably think of their distinctive stealth outfits and throwing stars.
Put on ninja costumes made with nonwoven fabric and colored plastic bags, and let’s transform into ninjas! “Henshin! Ninja-Jan” features rhythmic music and comical choreography.
The kids, fully immersed as ninjas, look incredibly cool with their serious expressions!
As expected, super hyped!
“Yappa Norinori!” announced on Momoclo-chan Z’s educational program “Tobidase! GooChokiParty” is a super-energetic song.
The official choreography is cute yet simple, so even a class of two-year-olds can give it a try.
The lyrics play on the word “nori,” meaning both “groove” and “seaweed you eat,” which is absolutely adorable.
It’s also a great idea to prepare colorful costumes like Momoclo-chan Z.
Move your bodies to the beat and enjoy dancing with the children.
Mischief Ninja Arts Manual
The key is its exciting, upbeat feel! Let me introduce “Itazura Ninpōchō.” Some children just love playing pranks, don’t they? This time, let’s do a cute dance to “Itazura Ninpōchō,” which has mischief as its theme! It’s a good idea to adapt the choreography to the children’s ages and interests.
Since it’s up-tempo with a unique sound, a comical choreography will fit well.
Dive in with a sense of excitement and have fun!
Exciting Paradehiromichi & tanizou
We’re excited to introduce a lively dance track with a tropical island parade theme! Created by Hiromichi & Tanizou, it’s a fun song full of smiles.
